4.3

IA reserves the right to withdraw the Art Work(s) from a Member’s domicile at any time (including, without limitation), if IA or any IA Representative consider (acting reasonably) that any conditions or fixings could damage, jeopardise or otherwise compromise the condition of the Art Work(s) in any way).

4.4

The Member agrees to a standard loan term of 10 (ten) weeks from the Delivery Date until the Collection Date. Each Collection Date may be varied upon written notice between IA and the Member no later than 5 Business Days prior to the designated Collection Date.

5.2.2 in no circumstances shall any Member seek to contact, or otherwise engage communicate with, (directly or indirectly) any Artist(s) at any time where such communications are intended to facilitate or otherwise effect the sale, transfer or hire of any Art Work(s) (including the commissioning, selling, transferring or hiring of any new piece of art which is not an Art Work (an “Independent Piece”)), without the prior written consent of IA; and
5.2.3 the Member shall promptly notify IA in writing of any communications in breach of the requirements of this Clause 5.2.

5.3

In those circumstances where a Member should breach the requirements of Clause 5.2 of these Terms and Conditions, the Member hereby acknowledges and agrees to promptly indemnify IA in an amount equal to such amount IA would have received if the purchase had been completed in accordance with these Terms and Conditions together with any other fees, costs, expenses, losses or liabilities which IA or its representatives may directly or indirectly incur as a consequence of such breach.

5.4

Any sale of the Art Work(s) to the Member shall not affect or otherwise prejudice the rights and obligations of the Parties under these Terms and Conditions in any way.

Each of the Parties acknowledge that the Artist shall retain all rights in, and title to, any Art Work(s) until the point of sale to a Member in accordance with Clause 5 (Sale of Art Work(s)) of these Terms and Conditions, whereupon title shall pass directly to the Member (subject to any trademarks, copyright and/or other intellectual property rights which may be associated with the Art Work(s) and which shall remain the property of the Artist at all times).

7.1

Upon becoming aware, the Member shall promptly notify IA of any loss or damage to the Art Work(s) or the destruction thereof and provide appropriate photographic evidence if requested.

7.3

Each Member further agrees to promptly indemnify IA (including, without limitation, its directors, officers, representatives and employees together with any Artist (each, an “IA Representative” and together, the “IA Representatives”)) on demand in full against any direct or indirect claim, loss or liability (of any description together with any fees, costs or expenses) which IA or IA Representatives may directly or indirectly incur as a consequence of any loss of, or damage to, any Art Work whilst on loan with any Member pursuant to these Terms and Conditions (in each case, irrespective of its cause).

7.4

The Member hereby acknowledges and agrees, represents and warrants, for the benefit of IA and any IA Representative that any Art Work(s) which may be made available for hire pursuant to these Terms and Conditions shall be fully insured against any damage or losses (of any description) for the duration of any Hire Period with a reputable insurance provider and the Member shall take all steps necessary (including, without limitation, notifying any third party insurance providers or their representatives or brokers of the possession of any Art Work(s) to the extent such notification may be required pursuant to the terms of any individual insurance policy) prior to the commencement of any Hire Period to ensure adequate and appropriate insurance cover is in place for the Art Work(s) at all times. It is further acknowledged and agreed that any excess payment (or any other requirement of a Member to pay or contribute which may be triggered under any insurance policy of a Member in the event of any claim) shall remain the responsibility of the Member at all times.

9.2

On termination of these Terms and Conditions by either Party, the Member shall allow reasonable and prompt access to IA and IA Representatives to their property or premises for the collection of any Art Work(s) on loan and shall promptly reimburse IA for any costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the collection or retrieval of such items.

9.3

To the extent there is any delay in the collection of any Art Work(s) at the end of any given Hire Period due to (i) any failure of the Member to reasonably cooperate with IA or any IA Representatives with respect to the removal of such Art Work(s) in accordance with Clause [9.2] or (ii) any circumstances outside the reasonable control of IA or any IA Representatives, the Member shall remain liable in full for:

9.3.1 any Membership Fee for any subsequent Loan Period(s) until the Art Work(s) have been successfully removed from the premises of the Member; and
9.3.2 any additional fees, costs and/or expenses which may be incurred by IA or IA Representatives in facilitating the removal of the Art Work(s) in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

No Party shall disclose a copy of these Terms and Conditions (or their contents or the mere fact of their existence) to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party save where required as a matter of law or regulation and provided that a copy of these Terms and Conditions may be shared with a Member upon reasonable request.
